SERVODIRECT TECHNOLOGY. SUCCESS CAN BE PROGRAMMED. The technology for maximum efficiency: Programming the slide movement reduces cycle time with the same or lower forming speed. Reduction in cycle time    Servo press movement profile in full stroke mode    Eccentric press movement profile (conventional)    Servo press movement profile in oscillating stroke mode    Oscillating stroke mode, small stroke    Oscillating stroke mode, medium stroke    Full stroke mode Programming the slide motion reduces the cycle time while keeping the forming speed constant. ServoDirect Technology allows the slide...

SERVODIRECT TECHNOLOGY  / Stamping and forming SYSTEMS WITH SERVODIRECT TECHNOLOGY Die life and component quality. The ability to optimize the forming speed in the critical area of the process can significantly increase die life. The impact of fluctuating coil quality can be reduced and therefore improve component quality. Energy management. During the regenerative braking phase of the press cycle, energy management systems can be used as an option to store the energy released. This energy is then available once again in the subsequent motorized phase of acceleration. The result is reduced connected...

SERVODIRECT TECHNOLOGY. PROVEN PERFORMANCE. Increasing output performance. Blanking trials and experience from ongoing production have proven Servo Direct Technology from Schuler offers higher productivity compared to conventional presses. The results so far: on average, a 70 % increase in output without die optimization, right from the first attempt. Cylinder head gasket.

SERVODIRECT TECHNOLOGY / STAMPING AND FORMING SYSTEMS WITH SERVODIRECT TECHNOLOGY Component with welded nut. Integration of downstream processes. Frequently, component production involves several production steps which take up time and productivity when performed one after another. Highly dynamic servomotors from Schuler make completely new production methods possible. Processes such as welding can be reliably integrated directly into the press cycle and deliver high levels of This is possible by implementing user-programmable time/ distance procedures as well as rest times in the press cycle....
